The Keyholding Company achieves B Corp Certification<\/h1>\n

The Keyholding Company<\/a> (TKC), a tech-enabled security services company, has officially become B Corp Certified, joining a global community of around 9,000 businesses dedicated to meeting high standards of environmental and social impact.<\/em><\/p>\n

B Corp<\/a>\u00a0is a global standard for ethical business practice established by B Lab, a non-profit organisation that is working towards a common vision of \u201cbusiness as a force for good\u201d. Being B Corp Certified represents a commitment to operating with transparency and accountability, in which businesses must balance profit with purpose. For TKC, this certification affirms its commitment to ethical practices, sustainability, and driving positive impact within the security industry.<\/p>\n

To achieve certification, TKC underwent B Lab’s rigorous B Impact Assessment, which evaluates performance across five key areas: Governance, Environment, Workers, Community and Customers.<\/p>\n

\"\"TKC believe that exceptional security services can coexist with a commitment to protecting people and the planet and saw achieving B Corp Certification as the ideal framework to unite the many ESG initiatives they already had in place.<\/p>\n

This belief drives their commitment to impactful actions, such as introducing an\u00a0electric vehicle fleet<\/a>\u00a0within their London Operations, implementing\u00a0transparent emissions reporting<\/a>, fostering active ED&I strategies geared towards personal and professional development (like the\u00a0award-nominated<\/a>\u00a0My TKC Journey initiative), and championing local businesses via their\u00a0service partner network<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\u201cOur B Corp Certification highlights that the security industry can and should take ethics, sustainability, and community impact seriously,” says Charlie Gordon Lennox, TKC\u2019s CEO.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere is an increasing call for responsible practices. We want to show that it is possible to uphold high ethical standards while maintaining operational excellence.\u201d<\/p>\n

The certification requires ongoing commitment, with companies needing to re-certify every three years and publish annual Impact Reports, detailing how they are tracking against various assessment criteria and sustainability objectives.<\/p>\n

So, for TKC, there is still more work ahead. While proud of reaching this milestone, they are committed to continually raising standards and driving their vision of an inclusive, equitable and sustainable security industry.<\/p>\n
